These stats courtesy of New Scientist a couple of months ago:-
3sqm of Arctic sea ice disappear for ever 1 tonne of CO2 emitted.
a typical US car emits 1 tonne CO2 per 4000 km.
1 tonne of CO2 is emitted for each seat on a return flight from London to San Francisco.
the average European causes the emission of 7 tonnes of CO2 each year (for Americans double that plus!).
globally we emit 35 billion tonnes of CO2 each year.
at these rate the Arctic summer ice sheet WILL BE GONE by 2046.
Food for thought.
